    Recipe



    Mix the sugar, cream of tartar or vinegar to make it
    easier to obtain a creamy product. It is not essential.
    Add chocolate, if used and liquids, stir until the sugar is
    dissolved. Put on fire and make sure every crystal of sugar
    is
    washed down and dissolved. Do not stir after it starts to
    boil
    except perhaps an occasional gentle passing of the spoon
    across
    the bottom of the pan to prevent settling and burning. Cover

    for first five minutes of boiling to steam off any
    undissolved
    sugar crystals.
    Boil rapidly to soft ball stage (238 degrees) at which stage
    a
    few drops of the candy dropped into cold water can be
    shaped
    into a ball just firm enough to be easily picked up and
    shaped.
    Remove from fire. Drop in butter or peanut butter (do NOT
    stir
    in) when mixture has cooled to room temperature (70
    degrees). Add the
    flavoring and beat until the candy begins to crystallize.
    Add
    the nuts, marshmallows, orange peel, raisins or other
    additional ingredients given in the recipe. Beat until the
    candy turns lighter in color, loses it shine, and thickens.
    Pour it out on
    a buttered platter and cool.
